Definately NOT the Disney Version!

This Alice is absolutely a Tim Burton film....or should I say ‘little Timmy Burton?’ Yes, it has all the Tim Burton darkness we’ve grown to love, but more then any other of his movies….I can actually imagine little Timmy sitting through the original Disney movie. Tim’s Alice is lovingly peppered with favorite images we all recognize from the oh-so-many-years-ago animated icon, when a dark movie theater and a box of popcorn was a rare and special reward.
3D Alice is more in keeping with the "flavor" of the original books. The animated characters were great and I truly loved the red queen’s castle-card-guards. If any single part of this movie illustrates the fact that Alice isn't in Disneyland anymore, it's Depp's recitation of ‘The Jabberwocky.’ Let's hope the man never finds a good therapist.
My only complaint? Tim’s a little too dark for 3D. He and his team need to remember the effect of 3D glasses on an already dark-dramatic visual experience. I actually occasionally pulled my glasses off, I wanted to see the cinematography. In my opinion, the 3D effect actually flattened the visual experience, dampening the light and color tremendously. I suggest to skip the 3D and love the regular version. That’s what did when I went back!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I'm so glad we went to the Imax 3D version!
The story could have been a little deeper but, hey, it was written for kids and had all the warm fuzzies necessary. The humor definately appeals to all ages and actually has flashes of near "Disney-ish" brilliance. Top it off with the Imax 3D graphics and I can almost say it was worth the double-cost price of a regular movie. BUT, I will also say that due to the cost, the Imax 3D is a once-in-a-blue-moon treat reserved for very special occasions.
